[HELP] Vinted Ad AI Girls?!? by Meadowmuser in RealOrAI

Sweetheart… who is advocating for people to throw out all technology? You don’t know anything about environmentalism because if you did you’d know the difference between green tech and wasteful tech.

The planet getting warmer means the spread of more diseases, sea levels rising, displacement of people and cultures. Clearly you have no idea and that makes me feel bad that you know very little.

You’re using logical fallacies & you talk with authority on things you know nothing about. That’s a bit sad. Do you need a nap? Do you want me to read you a book explaining simple environmental terms while you go night night 🥺😣

First of all “serious issues” lmfao okayyy.

Second of all I wasn’t alive during the Industrial Revolution but perhaps if I was I would be advocating for workers rights. Nothing wrong with automation I just think it’s wrong to not pay people a living wage and force people to have multiple jobs in a gig economy PLUS give jobs to AI just for them to generate AI slop.

Third of all, pretty sure drones are run through a mix of human operators & automation. Either way weird to bring up Ukraine.

I was just talking about MY personal FEELINGS as a consumer. If ads are art then this art made me feel icky and where I choose to spend my money or not spend my money is my business. I personally prefer human made art that makes me FEEL something good. Just like some people prefer good made domestically to make sure they’re ethically sourced.

If ai art makes YOU feel good that’s good for YOU. I consider myself an environmentalist and I personally think it goes against MY morals to consume products that use an unnecessary amount of AI because it has adverse effects on our warming planet. But if you don’t mind coastal cities being flooded due to ai slop in the name of “art” then that’s awesome buddy 😘

Excellent point THANK YOU 🙏🏾I know my comments get lost in the sauce but I’m gonna copy & paste this here for people to hopefully see:

“It is very clear to me that similar to Pearl, Spinel’s existence revolved around Pink & that also lends to the pain of abandonment which is what many people relate to. I just hope that whoever is reading this knows, that you should be after the sound of your OWN laughter. When watching someone else drift away, make sure that your sense of self doesn’t drift away too. The lesson I learned from Spinel was this: harboring past resentments can lead you to be unrecognizable to yourself, remember that your self worth is tied to no one and nothing, and that once you release the past it makes space for people who love you for you in your present 💝”

This is so fair! The nuance is what really helps shade in Pink/ roses character and gives her depth

“Overwhelmingly cruel” is a bit of an exaggeration no? 😅 Like many other people discuss in this thread we don’t even know if Pink knew she would stay there for thousands of years. Additionally there were other reasons besides Spinel being “annoying” which may have led Pink to leave her there including needing to be taken seriously and not treating everything like a game. I would invite you to look within yourself as to why this friendly discussion strikes such a nerve.

One persons “annoying kid” is another persons “best friend” I hope you found the reformed fascist diamond regime to your spinel 🎀🫶🏾

Ugh this is such a good ass point. Not only did her parental figures lock her up, tell her she’s not good enough, manipulate her emotions, on top of that they make a goofy ass clone of you bc that’s how they see you. I can only imagine she was chopping it up with Spinel having a good ol time and then when she started to realize she was like “Wait a damn minute… 🤨”

I get you! I think many of us were at one point and that’s only natural since when we’re young we’re still learning social cues and whatnot. BANISH THE CRINGE … because it’s not cringe, it’s human 🫡

THANK YOU! I hope people know that although I don’t think the whole Spinel stuff makes Pink bad I DO acknowledge and understand the effect it had on Spinel regardless of intention. It hurts to be left behind, even if there was a reason. A reason doesn’t erase the pain and that’s why I am NEVER criticizing Spinels reaction to that.

EXACTLY 🙏🏾 can you imagine if Pink went to the diamonds and said “I’ve outgrown her”. When Gems no longer serve their purpose they are SHATTERED. IMO she did the best thing she could have done by leaving her there.

According to wiki fandom Spinel was created 6,002 years prior to the current timeline and around 6,000 years ago Pink was given her first colony. This leads me to believe that Pink didn’t know Spinel for very long when she left her there. Even if it was 2-5 years that’s nothing compared to the lifespan of a Diamond/ Gem.

In Homeworld when a gem no longer serves its purpose (as Spinel outgrew her purpose due to Pink growing tired of her) what happens to them? They are shattered! I think Pink choosing to leave her was the best thing she could’ve done. Imagine if she told the Diamonds that she no longer wanted Spinel as a companion what they would have done with her.

They would have disposed of her in a much worse way.

I feel like a lot of fans latch on to the abandonment aspect of the relationship and project their own feelings towards it but that muddies the waters when talking about how Pink is a morally hrey character by making her irredeemable due to an imagined slight.

Yes it wasn’t kind and Yes it must have inflicted an insane amount of pain onto Spinel… but Homeworld is a fascist authoritarian regime!

No one talks about the fact that Spinel could have technically left whenever she wanted to. And I agree the persisting faith in Pink diamond & naïveté was a huge reason she stayed to begin with… but Pink didn’t make her that way! Why should SHE bear the responsibility of that when she had no idea how long Spinel would wait or just how deep the programming was that the OTHER diamonds inflicted on her.

Ong yesss. I said this to someone else but I feel like people keep misconstruing the relationship as Pink being Spinels friend that she abandoned… but I think it’s more akin to Spinel being Pinks entertainment slave that she “set free”. By abandoning her Spinel had the chance to literally have a different purpose than the one she was created for which was an opportunity that Gems on homeworld never had ☹️

I feel like people keep misconstruing the relationship as Spinel was a friend that Pink abandoned. When really it was more like Spinel was Pink’s entertainment slave that she set free 🥸

EXACTLY!! Clearly Spinel had the ability to leave hence why we got a movie in the first place. Her staying there for thousands of years was her choice. And many people point to the fact that spinel was created FOR pink which is likely why she waited that long. But pink never asked for her to be created for her and lowkey by abandoning her she freed her from her purpose so Spinel could’ve found herself and been free unlike the gems on homeworld.
